EQS SIMS Analyser

The Hiden EQS is a unique electrostatic quadrupole SIMS detector, specialised for the mass spectral analysis of both positive (+ve) and negative (-ve) secondary ions from solid samples. With its integrated 45° electrostatic sector ion energy analyser, the Hiden EQS can simultaneously analyse ion energy with a resolution of 0.2 electron volts (eV). This makes it one of the most versatile tools for ion analyses in a raft of mass spectrometry applications, including:

• Extending the sensitivity range of XPS by a factor of over 1000
• Dynamic and static SIMS
• Focussed ion beam (FIB) mass spectrometry
• Secondary neutral mass spectrometry (SNMS)
• Sputter depth profiling
• Sputtered ion and neutral mass/energy analysis

Tools for Ion Analysis from Hiden Analytical

A popular bolt-on fitting for after-market systems, ideal as an add-on for XPS systems and focused ion beam FIB microscopy systems for example, the Hiden EQS offers high sensitivity and optional differential pumping to meet the imaging, depth profiling, and mass spectra requirements of users in a range of applications.
